Conveying beer gently in a brewery

Centrifugal pumps | VLB Berlin has developed new methods for determining whether a pump is conveying fluids in a gentle manner and has thus created a new service that allows centrifugal pumps to be evaluated with regard to their pumping properties. The new method is based upon the formation of β-glucan gel from barley in response to shearing forces. Unlike established methods derived from the field of microfluidics, the pump does not need to be modified. It can be tested in the same condition as it would be supplied to the customer.
